Brucek just wrote up a very nice "tutorial" for rlammi, with step by step instructions on how to capture one's very first room response graph. You can find it here. As a newbie who has not yet tried to do this, I'm thrilled to find this document and I'm hoping it will be saved (stickied?) somewhere easy to find for future newbies.
I'm going to ask a few dumb questions that sprung to mind as I read through this "doc". Perhaps some of the answers can make it in to version 2.
Well, I can't comment on any of the later steps, since I haven't gotten that far yet, but they look nice and easy to follow. Lots of pictures!

What's the story with that "SPEAKER" designation for what (I believe) is a line-out? I see that same choice in my drop-down menu, along with an even more confusingly labeled choice. From memory, I think the second choice on my M-Audio Transit is "Mic/Line-out". Ignoring that crazy label for a moment, both of those choices seem to work. I hear the test tone no matter which I pick. However, the level is a bit hotter if a choose the second option. (not "SPEAKER") How does one know which one to use?
This instruction was "custom written" for rlammi, but if this tutorial makes it into a FAQ or something, it might want to mention that one doesn't have to use a RadioShack meter as your measurement mic. ****, you might even want to add a link to Sonnie's ECM8000 calibration file, since that's another popular option.
